thanks hambone. that's a lot of information. i think i remember someone on here stating the side trim was available only on the front half of the truck, but not the bed. i've been thinking about getting a build sheet on the truck just to see what's been added or removed over the last 50 years. then my cheap side kicks in...that's $50 for a sheet of paper that isn't really value-added, especially since the truck is going to quickly drain the 'ol bank account. has anyone purchased a build sheet and do you think it was worth the $$$?
looking a little closer at the engine, it's a 283 with a 327 intake with a carter 4 bbl carb. going to start tearing it down this weekend!!!
